mairodi: You are wrong, the use of the two words together turns it into what is called a "phrasal verb" and this turns the preposition "for" into a particle. And no, it ain't Nigerian lingo either ZIM DRILL: In this context, the word "gist" is used as a slang in Nigeria. If you don't know what a slang is, sorry I can't help you further And by the way, you need to lose the chip on your brain and quit your nauseating them (Naijas) against us (Zims) mentality, and start acting your age, otherwise you are gonna burst a vein very soon. Live and let live biko |

Re: ABC Of Common Errors And Mistakes In English by olaolabiy: 12:24am On Feb 19, 2011 |
semid4lyfe: Hi Semid4lyfe, It is correct! But, it is figurative (with object). E.g. His face cracked into a smile (Oxford Dico). The witnesses cracked and the truth came out (Oxford Dico). It means the question's brain taxing. |
Re: ABC Of Common Errors And Mistakes In English by olaolabiy: 12:28am On Feb 19, 2011 |
stevetboy9: Oh mai! Are you kidding me? Did you just call her Busybody? You are not making things easy for yourself, are you? |

Re: ABC Of Common Errors And Mistakes In English by olaolabiy: 12:41am On Feb 19, 2011 |
Atreides: He's a young man with propects. Focused, responsible, caring, nice and handsome. |
Re: ABC Of Common Errors And Mistakes In English by Atreides(f): 12:57am On Feb 19, 2011 |

Atreides:Hahaaa He's naturally shy. But, he means well. He's smitten with you. But, before you accept his dinner date, I have to know more about him. I don't want you to get it wrong. I really want the best for you. And, he has promised to tell me everything. You are too special. You need a young man like him. But, I will make sure you get it right. |
